    Default The build has begun

    Got the kit Saturday morning and just completed inventory. I have come to the conclusion that there is no way the 1000 parts that came with it will fit in this airplane The son and I will be begin to organize and find a home for all the parts until they are needed. It is very exciting having it in the shop.

    That's great!...brings back memories of when I felt like a kit in a candy store when the box-o-parts showed up!

    Looks like you have a nice shop to work in.

    I made the wings in the basement; and, yes, measured the stairway first so as to avoid that classical builder's conundrum.


    Enjoy,

    I have been flying my Kitfox here in NW Oregon for two years now and am still discovering more other Kitfoxes around and more importantly more guys building and getting back to dormant projects. As Airfox and myself and these others show up at more flyins and pancake breakfasts with our foxes, I think the Kitfox fever seems to be building up around here. Its nice to see.

    Thanks all and congrats on your kit as well David. I have finished the inventory and found the kit to be extremely professional in its part labeling, packaging, and identification. Still doing some organizing around the shop and barn to find a safe place for all items but couldn't help myself and starting sizing and laying out the ribs on the horizontal.
